Intel SB/IB CPU STRAP

Hi, has anybody been using the CPU strap on a locked Sandy/Ivy Bridge CPU to overclock it? It let's you change the base clock up to 125MHz without overclocking the rest of your components. This option is actually not that know, but it could make a locked CPU a great value (I'm not sure if it's available on the Haswell CPUs).

 

Some review to back it up:
